twelve ☆ video time!

[doyoufondue]

[ And now for another episode of: 'What the hell are you doing, Steve?'
In this week's episode: Rescue Missions!

You're treated to an interesting view of a hall of cells containing war prisoners. There's a guy patrolling it. It's silent until Steve -- sneaks up behind the guy and knocks him out before stealing his keys. Steve is wearing his Captain America costume with a jacket and pants over it, that shield strapped to his back, and equipment that doesn't belong to him. (Wasn't one of his dancers wearing that helmet?)

The guys in the cell look reasonably confused: ] Who are you supposed to be?

Um... Captain America.

I beg your pardon? [ Steve starts letting them all out and they talk amongst themselves ]

Is there anybody else? I'm looking for a Sergent James Barnes. [ Someone answers that he might be in a spot nobody ever comes back from. Steve takes a little breath, nods, and starts giving them directions to get out. ]

-Get out fast and give 'em hell. I'll meet you guys in the clearing with anybody else I find.
[ The guys are still giving him a baffled look because who the hell is this guy seriously ] Wait- you know what you're doing?

Yeah. I've knocked out Adolf Hitler over 200 times. [ And with that Steve runs off camera while the guys exchange looks. ]

...Was he wearing a duck pin?

[...oh good lord, he's watching history. So he's silently (and a bit raptly) watching the video. This is oddly trippy. Yet fascinating.]

On the move, Captain Rogers?

[doyoufondue]

Yuuup. You wouldn't happen to have a map on you, would you?

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Not one that'll be of much use to you I'm afraid. Want to know about New Mexico?

[doyoufondue]

New Mexico? That were Thor is? Is it hot there? [ do do do punching hydras. ]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

If that's what he's calling himself at current. And yes, almost always quite hot. [Ask him about full black suits in the New Mexico sun.] Nights are pleasant though.

...this chatting about the weather interfering with your, umm, mission?

[doyoufondue]

--He called himself something else? [ How did you guess his next question? ] Suit uncomfortable in that?

Um. No. I'm good. I might cut you off when I find someone though.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Doctor Donald Blake, MD. If you've met the man, please tell me if he strikes you as the MD sort. [He strikes Coulson as the "puts people in need of an MD sort" after how he tore through his men.]

Basic black wasn't really designed for the desert. But we make do.

Fair enough. I hope you find who you're looking for.

[doyoufondue]

I've talked to him a couple of times and he definitely doesn't strike me as a doctor.

You don't have summer suits?

Thanks. Me too.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Thank you. That was my basic thoughts on the matter too.

Summer suit. Winter suit. Same suit. The sunglasses are helpful though.

Don't mention it. [He feels a little like a history voyeur, but well, he's not turning off the video either. OOPS.]

[doyoufondue]

What made him lie to you?

At least there's that. Sunglasses always look good with suits.

[ Coulson are you recording this? :| ]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Well, his friends lied on his behalf. We had him in custody after he broke into one of our installations.

And they do. It's an ensemble sort of look.

[...only a little. Don't worry. He's a professional. He won't sell it on eBay.]

[doyoufondue]

You do something to upset the big guy that he broke in?

Reminds me I need to pick up a new pair.

[ Not that Steve would know what eBay is to object ]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

He was after an artifact that we'd secured.

[Also he might have borrowed his not-girlfriend's research and life's work. Details.]

They do come in handy.

[doyoufondue]

Is it his? [ Let's hope they don't rat him out by name. ]




--Ever see blue guns before?

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Not entirely sure. For a moment I thought it might have been, but he wasn't any more capable of moving it than the rest of us.

It felt la little like watching The Sword in the Stone, if you're familiar.

[...a pause at that.] I've seen guns in all sorts of colors. Certain blue ones only in extremely classified files. [...OH WOW IS THAT WHAT HE'S WATCHING?!]

[doyoufondue]

Strange. Probably get Loki to tell you what it is. He seems to know a lot.

I never got around to reading that book.

Classified, huh? [ These Hydra guys and their crazy blue glow-y weapons ]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Loki, huh? I spoke to him briefly.

Wait for the film.

Yeah. Highly classified. Actually, it's probably got a lot to do with what you're in the middle of. [...seriously. To hell with this temporal stuff. It's confusing.]

[doyoufondue]

He's King of Asgard, I think?

There's a film? I'll wait.

I guess asking for details would be cheating then, huh? [ So confuuused. ]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

My mythology tells me that ought to be Odin, but sure. Why not. That's what he was saying.

Oh yeah. Disney. Lots of catchy songs.

[A pause.] You know, I'm not entirely clear on how the rules for this situation work.

[doyoufondue]

I'm not really familiar with his and Thor's situation so I didn't think it polite to ask.

Yeah? Disney's promising. I get Heigh-Ho stuck in my head all the time.

Maybe we shouldn't touch it until we work out some. I'd hate to ruin a timeline by accident.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Family politics can be tricky I suppose.

[That has him looking a bit amused. But then, it's back to serious face. ...mostly serious face.]

Agreed. Last thing I need on my conscience is ripping a hole in the fabric of time and space because of a paradox.

[doyoufondue]

-I'm not ruining anything by talking to you to begin with, right?

[notmyfirstrodeo]

I haven't noticed any earthquakes or other signs of impending reality destruction, so I'm sure we're fine, Captain.

[doyoufondue]

Great then. I'd hate to have to cut myself off from people.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Yeah, that would be unfortunate. If it were an issue, this place likely would've kicked off quite the chain reaction already.
